"We wanted a portrait that would capture this very special time in our lives.  The kids are grown and on their own and we have discovered a new feeling of freedom and romance.  When we discussed this with Ken he helped us to decide on a formal elegant look.  After seeing the results, I think every thing we wanted to convey is said in this portrait. 
 "Empty nest" I'm not sure, the cup is full of blessings.

  Thanks Ken, Richard and Elaine Brausch"
